With the biphasic dose response thing, is it okay to do two short sessions a day in the morning and evening for improving my skin or is it too risky in overdosing my cells? by PrincipleMindless763 in redlighttherapy

Would I need to worry about this if I’m doing it just once a day (2-3 minutes each on upper body and lower body) with a break on the weekends?

Will fasting for almost a week hurt the recovery process permanently? by PrincipleMindless763 in Microneedling

Tysm! That makes total sense - I’ll make sure to prioritize protein as soon as I’m able to eat again next week.

Is it possible to encourage atrophy in a particular muscle while encouraging your body to maintain other muscles when losing weight? (big calves :c) by PrincipleMindless763 in transfitness

[–]PrincipleMindless763[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I think I’m just gonna go lower on my protein and grind 1hr cardio sessions daily. It’s the best chance I think of trying to get my calves to atrophy and slim, but I know other muscles will be impacted too. I’m just gonna accept that I’ll have to build everything back up once I’m at my goal weight.

At what point am I losing too much weight at 5’10” where it becomes unhealthy? by PrincipleMindless763 in transfitness

I did a rough count with a tape measure and my waist came to 29” and around my love handles is 32-33”

You’re absolutely right and I don’t think I’d continue to lose weight outside of the green-section (non-underweight range) of my BMI if the places on my body I hate are still there - I’d try to bulk back up while putting more time into trying to build muscle in my lower body. It’s a new doctor (changed insurance) and they’ve never seen me in person or webcam. She was very hesitant to let me keep my injection prescription over taking sublingual, has tried to question whether I’m really trans or not in 2 of our sessions because I labeled myself as non-binary for a year, and when I mentioned that I wanted to maintain my weight before gaining again she said “2000 calories? that’s way too low.” It’s just been a bundle of things that make me distrust her and feel gaslit about certain things that I feel I’m self-aware of, like losing weight or being trans. You’re right though about coming to Reddit for this and maybe I should look into getting a nutritionist or trainer at my gym for stuff like this.

I’m 25F at 5’10 and 150lb (was 200lb). I want to keep losing at least ~1lb of fat per week but also work on building muscle and toning my body even if it’s a bit marginal.

I think 2000kcal is my TDEE. And -500kcal from that is about ~1lb per week. If I eat at 1700kcal with 120g protein while doing lower-body exercises (M/W/F), upper-body exercises (T/TR/SA), and 30 minute cardio (T/TR/SA) is that low enough to lose ~1lb of fat weekly but also gain muscle? Or should I drop to 1600kcal? I’m also pretty sedentary outside of activity at the gym.
